Precious (Harry Styles)

SIXTY FIVE

It was now January.  It was very cold and it had been snowing for a few days. The snow lay thickly on the ground, making the scenery look so pretty and clean.

Harry had always loved watching the snow fall. Wishing he could go outside. He was allowed to, but because of all of his health issues, he wasn't allowed to stay out for long.

"Pleeeeease Daddy!" Harry said excitedly as he stared out of the living room window. "Ten minutes?"

Louis smiled. "Ok love. But no longer."

"Yes! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you." He said clapping his hands, happily.

"Warm clothes on." Louis said, as he picked Harry up. He already had his prosthetics on, so he just had to put his joggers, socks, wellies, coat, hat and gloves on.

"Ready?"

"Yup...let's goooooo!"

Louis opened the door and helped Harry outside. The cold air hitting them immediately, making them both shiver.

Harry looked up at the sky, as the snowflakes landed on his face, making him giggle. He caught some in him gloves, watching them melt.

"Snowballs Daddy?"

Louis laughed. "Ok. Sit on the chair while I make some." He said, knowing Harry wouldn't be able to get down to do it himself. He wiped a big layer of snow off of the chair and Harry sat down.

They had a big pile of snowballs now.

Louis picked a handful up and ran to the other side of the garden, as Harry reached over and picked one of his up.

"I'm gonna get you!" He shouted, as Louis ran around.

He threw his first and it hit Louis on his shoulder. "Oww you got me!" He shouted, laughing, and faking being hurt.

Louis threw his first one and it landed on Harry's hat. "Hahaha look, it's on my head?" He said as he felt snow falling from his head.

They carried on throwing until they had no more and both were covered in snow. Harry's cheeks were red from the cold, but he was having so much fun.

"How about...snow Angel's?" Louis asked. Harry's face lit up.

"Yessssss!"

Louis picked him up and put him on the ground. It was quite deep and very cold. Harry giggled.

"It's fucking freezing!" Harry said, loud enough for Louis to hear, but he didn't say anything about it, because...well...he was right.

"Move your arms and legs Harry. " Louis said, moving his own to make a scruffy looking angel.

Harry moved his arms, but moving his legs was hard, especially with the thickness of the snow.

"I can't do it Daddy!" He said, sadly. "I can't move my legs."

Louis forgot that he might have trouble. He got up and knelt by Harry's feet. He took hold of them and moved them back and forth.  "Move your arms Harry."

Harry did so. "I'm an angel, Daddy!" He giggled.

"You certainly are." He replied. He had his phone in his pocket, so he took it out and took some photos. He was too damn adorable.

"Think we better go in now."

Harry sighed but nodded. "Ok. Can I have a bath though, cos my butt is freezing?"

"Yeah. So is mine." Louis picked Harry up and carried him inside.

He set him down inside the door and they both took their outside clothes off.

"Goodness, you were right, you're freezing. Let's get that bath running."

They went upstairs and Louis turned the bath taps on, putting the plug in and adding some bubble bath that Harry loves.

He stripped Harry's clothes off, removed his prosthetics, and wrapped him in a blanket while they waited.

Once Harry was in the bath, he let out a moan at how lovely the water felt.

He laid back and let the bubbles float around him.

"I love bubbles." He said as Louis washed him.

"Me too. Think I'll have a bath after you." Louis said, warming his hands in the water.

Ten minutes later, Harry was out, dried and dressed. Louis had a quick bath to warm himself up, then they went downstairs.

"Can't beat hot chocolate  and a good film on a snowy day eh?" Louis said as they cuddled up on the sofa. Harry nodded and he wrapped his blanket around them.

Needless to say, Harry fell asleep soon after.

"Hi Gem. You ok love?" Louis said as he picked up his phone.

"Hi Dad. Everything is great. Just checking in to see how things are there."

"Really good. Harry's ok. No drama lately."

"That's good. Um...I have some news actually." She said, smiling down the phone.

"Oh, sounds interesting.  Go on..."

"I've met someone. He's lovely. His name is Roman. He's 24 and he's also training to be a special needs nurse, that's how we met."

"Gemma, that's good news. I'm so happy for you. How long have you been seeing him?"

"Um....three months. Sorry I didn't tell you sooner, we just wanted to make sure it was true love." She laughed.

"I don't mind. I'm so happy you found someone. So...when do we get to meet him?"

"Well...we both have a week off in a couple weeks time. We can come over then. We're going on holiday, but we can drop in before we go."

"I'll look forward to it." Louis said, feeling very happy. It's been a while since Gemma had a boyfriend, as she was so busy with her studies.

They said their goodbyes.

"Was that Gem?" Harry yawned,  just waking from his nap.

"Yes. She's got a boyfriend.  She's bringing him over to meet us soon."

"Ahh that's nice." Harry said, cuddling up to Louis. "Wish I had a boyfriend too." He added.

Hello.

God I'm so bored.
